  1. Would a dome allow us to move the MAC football championship game to Cleveland? Would it get us in the rotation for hosting the Big 10 football championship game?
  2. clvlndr - You need to read between the lines - this is Councilman Conwell saying "Hey, don't forget that you've pulled up to my tollbooth. Pay your toll and I'll raise my barrier and you can drive through - or at least drive up to the next tollbooth."
  3. Didn't the original Burnham plan call for a train station at the north end that would have blocked any lake view?
  4. how about the Eaton building on 12th?
  5. 18th largest TV market, 28th for radio because radio splits off Akron from Cleveland. The TV market is 17 counties, and stretches from Sandusky to Mansfield to New Philadelphia (but not three counties around Youngstown.)

    By the way, if you buy the Ambassador-level ($125) membership at the Cleveland Museum of Art, you get reciprocal admission at MOCA.
  7. I bought suits at MW this year, but they were Joseph & Feiss suits. If you are serious about supporting local, you could try Geiger's in Lakewood, rather than MW or JAB
  8. So that's where the trees are going - a truck full of trees had half of Lakeside blocked off at 7:30 this morning.

    Well, if it is important enough, I would make a trip to the Lakewood Library and talk to one of the reference librarians on the second floor. Not quite as convenient as asking Google, but not everything in print is online. They've got plenty of old phone books and directories in the Reference Room.
  10. That video may be NSFW but everyone at work is watching it
  11. Unless the West Bank boardwalk says to the East Bank boardwalk "Hey, you are looking good!"
  12. Hope you like O'Hare....
  13. I'd say the Oklahoma City flight is a direct result of shale gas - there's got to be lots of energy execs flying in and out.
  14. A surprise soft-opening for the new Atrium http://www.cleveland.com/arts/index.ssf/2012/08/cleveland_museum_of_art_opens.html We were there Wednesday and I remember thinking it looked ready for people then.
  15. I was still banking there in the early 90's - I think that was after the Cle/Ameritrust merger with Society, but before Key Tower. I can't remember when they closed the rotunda.
  16. Must be from the CMHA tower?
  17. They need to update the bishop's name on the record - Issenmann was many bishops ago. There are three buildings in that cluster, which used to be called "Inter Faith Plaza". The Catholic one is the one closest to Euclid, the Hillel Center is directly north, and there was a Protestant center attached to the Church of the Covenant, with a small lawn between the Catholic and Jewish buildings. If only the Catholic portion is for sale, then that is a fairly small footprint.
  18. I believe the atrium will be open in October, so it won't be long
  19. I was at the Art Museum over the weekend - you finally get a chance to see how the atrium relates to the other wings of the museum, and how the traffic will flow through the museum, into the atrium and then out the other sides. After these last three years or so, I've gotten tired of the "Art Detour" through the basement. Oh yes, the "Youth and Beauty in the 20's" show was very nice - at least one whole room was devoted to urban-themed art.
  20. The photo shows how the one story building on the corner (many years ago it was a Cunningham's Drug Store) under-utilizes that lot. Can that can be the spot for the next apartment building? or isn't it big enough?

    For CMH think Columbus Municipal Hangar
  22. My dad commuted to the airport fom North Ridgeville for 28 years - so it is doable. North Ridgeville is way too rural for my tastes (I grew up there) but that's all a matter of lifestyle preferences. It depends if you want the kind of neighborhood where you can walk to lots of places and quickly get downtown, or if you have to drive most everywhere as a trade-off for the space and open-ness. It also now depends on how quickly you can get on I-480. Growing up in an airline family, and working at the airport for almost three years myself, I remember that most airline/airport workers live in a belt from North Ridgeville in the west, to Middleburg Hts/Parma in the east, and stretching down into Strongsville/Brunswick. I lived in central Lakewood (directly north of the airport), and there won't be a huge difference in commuting time to the airport compared to those other places.
  23. Well, they didn't say which downtown....
  24. Hasn't the CSU Theater Department relocated to E. 13? If so, it is definitely part of PHS
  25. St Ignatius now plays their home games at Byers Field in Parma, across from Parmatown (it used to be Lakewood HS). St Ed's plays at Lakewood High
